Bathua is a type of leafy vegetable which is easily available during winters. It is full of health benefits. It can be used to prepare many things. I have prepared lachcha paratha using fresh bathua leaves which came out absolutely wonderful. It is delicious served with pickle of your choice, white butter and a cup of tea or coffee. It can be even served with plain yoghurt or raita.

Steps

40 min.

1

First of all clean bathua removing hard stems. Keep tender stems and leaves. Now wash it with plenty of water three to four times making sure that there is no dirt remaining. Chop it finely. We have to measure chopped leaves for this recipe.
2

Take wheat flour in a bowl and add ginger paste, green chilli paste, cumin, cumin powder, hing, turmeric, garam masala, salt and 1 tbsp oil. Mix everything well. Now add chopped bathua leaves to it and using little water at a time make a soft dough. Now add 1 tbsp remaining oil and knead the dough until smooth.
3

Cover and keep it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, divide it into 8 equal portions.
4

Take one portion of dough and dust it with dry flour. Now roll it into a thin circle. Apply some ghee on top and sprinkle some dry flour. Now start folding it like a fan.
5

After folding it, make a circle from it. Roll paratha lightly using dry flour.
6

Heat a pan on medium heat and roast paratha on one side until light pink specs appear. Now flip it over and apply some oil or ghee on top.
7

Roast it from both sides properly. Take it out on a wire rack when it is done. Make all the parathas in the same way.
8

Serve bathua lachha paratha with plain yoghurt or raita along with pickles of your choice.
